This 1934 D Mahogany is part of the exclusive Santa Cruz Founders Collection and is built from remarkable Old Growth tonewoods that are extremely difficult to source, which makes it a genuinely rare instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dreadnought is the world's most popular acoustic shape today, but it did not always look this way. In 1934 the powerful 14-fret herringbone dreadnought arrived, going on to become one of the most prized and sought-after designs in the history of the steel-string guitar. The 1934 D is Santa Cruz's tribute to that landmark, capturing the essence of the iconic original that so many have tried and failed to recreate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret to the superior tone of vintage instruments lies in aged woods with crystallised resins and the release of tension built into a guitar over the decades. Santa Cruz recreates exactly this with the 1934 D: Master Grade mahogany back and sides sawn in the 1930s, a Master Grade Old Growth Adirondack spruce top and bracing, all assembled with genuine hot hide glue. This isn't \"just like the old materials\", it is the old materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHot hide glue is a time-tested, natural adhesive that dries to a hard, glassy, resonant bond for a faster, clearer response. Together, these refined materials lay the foundation for a truly authentic vintage tone from one of the finest dreadnoughts you will ever play. It comes complete with a Cedar Creek hardshell case, booklets and a TFOA Passport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis instrument has been carefully inspected for condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier.
